MOAN ON THE PRARIE, by MARY F. COCHRANE First Line: O god, I work and watch here all day long Last Line: Hard sticks by noon -- death's bones, come night! Subject(s): Despair | ||||||||
O God, I work and watch here all day long, My tears no sooner fallen than dried quite By air that sears. O steely gray at dawn, O yellow heat by noon -- brass glare, come night! God, now I sit and listen all day long. I hear, with tearless eyes turned from the light, I hear the planting, rustling dry at dawn, Hard sticks by noon -- death's bones, come night! | Other Poems of Interest...THE DAY THAT WAS THAT DAY by AMY LOWELL MAN IN THE STREET OR HAND OVER MOUTH by HEATHER MCHUGH BURIAL RITES by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
